With LeGarrette Blount and Stevan Ridley shouldering the load, Patriots running back Shane Vereen worked past a groin injury but wasn't much of a factor Saturday night, in a 43-22 win over the Colts in the AFC Divisional Playoff game.

Vereen endured a quiet performance as he broke for an 8-yard run in the second quarter for his longest run of the night. He was limited to five carries for 17 yards (3.4 yards per carry), and two receptions for 16 yards on six targets.
